Ingredients
  • 200 g of almond cream
  • 2 tablespoons icing sugar
  • 10 g of defatted pure cocoa powder
  • 7 pitted dates.
  • 30 g. roasted almonds
  • 10 hazelnuts (optional)
  • 100 g of 85% dark chocolate.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
Preparation
  1. We put the dates to soak in hot water for 30 minutes.
  2. Time passed, we crush in the blender glass the almond cream, the cocoa powder, the sugar and six of the dates until they form a thick mixture that we can handle. Is it still very soft? Add one more date.
  3. We take small portions of dough - it is designed for 10 chocolates and we form balls introducing in each of them a hazelnut if we want.
  4. Then chop the toasted almonds so that there are small pieces to coat the chocolates in them.
  5. Once done we take the chocolates to the fridge so that they harden while we prepare the bath.
  6. For that, we melt the chocolate with the oil in the microwave at intervals of 20-30 seconds so that it does not burn.
  7. When we have the melted chocolate, we take the balls out of the fridge and we bathe them in the melted chocolate. You can do this by placing them on a rack on top of a small tray and dropping the chocolate on top.
  8. We let the excess chocolate drain and then we place them on a plate or tray with greaseproof paper and we take to the fridge for a minimum of 15 minutes.
  9. Now it only remains to enjoy the almond and dark chocolate bonbons.
